Dreadful fight. An embarrassing level of fitness in both fighters, and a real lack of any quality punches. Trying to drum up interest for a third fight after that is laughable.
Great win from the bomber, cleverly just got found out the the 2 stone extra at cruiserweight is too much for him, and he gassed he can't take it, he is a light heavy weight
I can't find it in myself to congratulate bellew. I feel so sick that was sold as a box office event (and i was stupid enough to buy it)and he just happened to continue swinging. God knows how either of them did not burst out laughing suggesting a third fight in the 50,000 capacity millennium stadium.
You aint stupid mate its the way life is you pays your money you take your chances, nothing is free anymore, the quality wasn't there but that wasnt a purists fight but it was gutsy, and brave and I honestly believe bellew needs to find in him something that will stop him being carried out of there in a box, as I don't think he is lieing when he says he won't quit in the ring, we love boxing because it's not just the artistry and the skill, its primeval and raw, one on one you got that tonight 99% of those commenting tonight wouldn't go to the places boxers have too just to get in the ring, let alone do what cleverly did from Rd 9 and just take digs when there's nothing left
Respect to them both and welldone bellew even if I don't like him as a character
I was stupid to buy it. I knew the undercard was one sided and crap. I hoped I would see Sprott throw a few rights and test Joshua a tiny bit but I wasn't expecting anything.
I get what you are saying mate, cleverly showed huge heart and guts especially as it seems he broke his right hand early on (hmmmmm).
If he broke his hand it was in Rd 8 imo as it was fine up till then, no one bought that fight for the undercard, the only other fight I was interested in was quigg and that wernt a bad fight either
Really? I thought he was fighting well within himself he needs a rest same as Groves does.
Bigger picture I know it's only 16 quid. What happens though is promoters get greedy and sell us a constant stream of shit if we're not careful. There are fights out there is what annoys me. Watching George look disinterested and degale fighting a fat bloke there for the money just deceives people.
We had two world titles way down the card, that is wrong! Eddie can carry on cobbling cards like this together but he should not make it ppv.
I've had a rather large bet on cleverly at roughly 11/10 on betfair. Will be keeping a sharp eye on the price as the fight gets closer, I think he may drift some more. Absolutely fantastic price in my opinion.
We need to take time with AJ he needs to learn his craft slowly and surely, i have no issues with him having 10- 12 easish fights slowly building, is he the real deal, i believe he has everything to be so, but until he gets hit we wont know if he has the heart or the chin to be a real prospect, right now he is a good british heavy weight, world champ is not something that anyone should think about for another 3 or 4 yrs
I just watched it back, cleverly is holding his right hand funny, from around Rd 4 he then doesn't throw it properly for another 5 rds, then in the back end of 9 and the middle of 10 he throws it with a bit more venom than any of the previous 5
Still think he gassed as he can't make the 2 stone difference, catch weight fight could be more interesting

Decent main event decent card. And I hate frank Warren but he has got some tasty match ups together on there

Anyone watch the Boxnation bill? Fantastic showings from Lomchenko and Manny. Vargas DiMarco was fight of the night
